Andrea and Desiree,

“Thank you again for your professionalism and attention to details.  Thank you for your patience with the revisions that were required. I shall look forward to working with you again.”

“Thanks for a great experience!” 

~ Randall, VA Agent  8/28/2018

 

“Thank you for a quick, informal and efficient settlement.  We have been to 4 settlements in the last 18 months.  All of them were efficient, but we have to admit yours was the fastest.  We appreciate the speed and efficiency since we were getting on the road back to FL right after we finished the paperwork.  We are now settled in our home in FL and hope there are no more settlements for a long, long time.  Thank you again.”

“I would like to thank Old Towne Title for your patience in getting my closing costs wired from PenFed. I apologize for the confusion on my part and their apparent misunderstanding of what was needed.  This may have been a routine process for you, but it showed me you were willing to do whatever it took to resolve a very stressful situation for me.  It was very much appreciated.”

“Our experience with Old Towne Title was truly exceptional. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable and always had an answer to any question or concern we had. We received regular updates and they did everything they could to meet our schedule needs. Also, we cannot say enough amazing things about Andrea Turner. She is so friendly and knowledgeable and made the closing process painless for us and made sure we understood every paper we signed. I recommend Old Towne Title to anyone who was looking at buying or refinancing a home. We want to thank everyone for their hard work and amazing service during this process.”

“Thank you so much for your email and though I am not much of one for giving quotable feedback, I would like to compliment Desiree and Andrea for a very pleasant, thorough and timely closing on my parents property sale (I was just the POA stand-in for them while they are away on a trip). They also took the time to patiently answer my questions in person and online, greatly appreciated as I hadn’t been to a closing in a long time. I would certainly recommend Old Towne Title to my friends.”

“Thank you Lauren, for the opportunity to comment on our experience in your office. Old Towne Title company was an excellent experience for my wife and I. We were able to come into the office early in the morning and take care of closing on selling our home. Andrea was there and greeted us with a smile and had every correct form for us to sign without any mistakes. She was very professional and answered our questions accurately. It was a positive experience for a very big moment in our lives. Thank you all for your outstanding customer service.”

“Thank you for taking the time to email me. This was my very first purchase of a home. I have no prior experience to compare this with, but I will tell you that if the time ever comes for me to sell this home the people that will be working with the buyers will have EVERYTHING to prove! You were AMAZING! I can’t say enough about you and your company, Traci Showberg and Susan Musgrove! Thank you again! It has been a true pleasure.”

“As a recent customer of Old Towne Title, I want to say how impressed I am with their service and their staff. We received an offer to sell our home before it went on the market, and as such, needed someone to guide us on the sale of the property. Andrea Turner was our contact at Old Towne, and she provided a level of support, expertise, and guidance that was above and beyond my highest expectations. As we relocated to another state, Andrea provided information both while we were on the road, and when we arrived in California. Professional, timely and tenacious, Andrea assured that both the buyer and I were well informed, and that the process moved along in a timely manner, and that the closing documents were in place as needed.
If you are considering using a title company in the near future, I would highly recommend both Old Towne Title and Andrea Turner. I have bought and sold any number of homes and my experience with Old Towne has been the highlight of all of these transactions!”
–J. Brauer 11/2/16
“Desiree, I appreciate everything. You have been my saving grace through this believe me or not! Toot your horn lady!”

–Ms. Estep 8/19/16

 

“Andrea, and the entire team at Old Towne Title, thanks again for your help with the last transaction.  I’m already speaking with potential buyers for the six newly acquired parcels of land.  I’m also beginning conversations with realtors in the area.  In my communications with both potential buyers and potential realtors, I’m suggesting we use Old Towne Title.  I have nothing but positive things to say about the company, thank you!”

–A. Goss 6/30/16

 

“It was my pleasure to work with you and your colleagues at Old Towne Title. Upon my arrival, of which I was early, I was greeted and immediately taken into an office to begin the process of executing the paperwork to close on my home. Each document was explained thoroughly with ample time for additional questions to ensure total transparency and understanding. The financial document was simple to understand, outlined the monies designated for additional contractor repairs, and safeguarded against funds being withdrawn without prior approval.

Old Towne Title staff was professional, compassionate, and thoroughly prepared having the ability to navigate the plethora of paperwork in a most efficient manner. Both Old Towne Title and Deborah Matthews, my realtor, worked to ensure a smooth closing and one that benefited all parties.”

–P. Bacuros 3/22/16

 

“I’ve owned and sold a home before, but have never purchased a home. Some of the processes are different from my previous home state of Florida. The team at Old Towne made sure I was well informed, updated, and my information was processed quickly. I also enjoyed the signing process. The office was comfortable with a wonderful group of employees/agents. I had purchases set up with other title companies before settling on this purchase and company. Overall, the fees/prices through Old Towne were competitively priced. It was an overall smooth and easy process thanks to their organization.”

–M. Augugliaro 3/14/16

 

“Our experience with Old Towne Title was GREAT, very friendly and I want to say a BIG THANK YOU for letting us close our loan on an earlier date of March 19 since my husband was having surgery on the original date of closing. Karen was the person that  came to the Shenandoah Avenue branch to close our loan she was on time, very friendly and made sure that we had signed all of the papers. Again a BIG THANK YOU to ALL who worked on our loan closing!!!! I would recommend Old Towne Title to anyone that needed a loan closing.”

–Karen 3/7/16

 

“I just wanted to thank you guys for a smooth, easy closing. I had been struggling with this house for more than a year – tenant problems, consequent repairs, trouble selling… Dealing with you guys was literally the easiest, most painless part of the process, and I can’t thank you enough!”

–Nicki 2/26/16

–Gary and Jan Tusing 12/29/15

 

“The staff at Old Towne Title are attentive, timely, and considerate in all that they do. Reliability and timeliness are vital in today’s lending climate and these are cornerstones of who Old Towne Title are as professionals as well as how they act on a consistent basis. Andrea Turner is the consummate professional as the lead settlement officer and business development agent for the firm. If you need title work done well, fast, and accurate… this is your team.”

— John C (Haymarket, VA), Lender 2015

“I have had the chance on several different occasions to use Old Towne Title Company for closings on personal and business properties. They make the entire process painless, and efficient.

“Carol and I both felt that you made the whole process enjoyable and painless. It took us 1/2 hour to close – thank you very much! – and then we were off to the beach for a week. You made our trip more enjoyable and relaxing knowing that we closed with the pros!”

–Grateful closers, John and Carol W., 2015

 

“We had a great experience working with Old Towne Title. There were a few hiccups regarding information that was needed, but everything was taken care of quickly and without an effort having to be put in on our part. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been wonderful. Whether it be Desiree who fielded many of my phone calls and answered all the questions I had even if they were repetitive, or AJ who was willing to come to my house at 7:00pm so my Wife and I could sign the closing documents. I have a long work schedule and a long commute and that really made an impression on me that He was willing to do that. You absolutely may share this with others, I want them to know that this is a company you can trust to do everything they can to make buying or refinancing as painless as possible.”

–S. Martin 9/18/15

 

“Thank you, Thank you and Thank you for closing us today!!! All day I Just kept waiting and something kept telling me that it was going to happen today, then closer to the later afternoon i had settled for the phone call that we would be closing on Monday.  When Natalie called and said to get over to your office that we were going to close and to call the buyers and to let them know, I started happy dancing all over that office, even had another agent dancing with me, the whole time laughing so hard from excitement.  You all are Amazing and you have me as a client that will spread the word about how you slammed dunked this closing!!!! You went over and beyond the call of duty to stay so late for my clients for them to get into their new home.

–G. Stoneberger, Realtor

 

“By the time we got to this point in the sales process we were very relieved. Your office was great to work with – quick to respond, professional and it was SO good to hear those words – “Your house has SOLD!” Thank you! ”

–E. Woodson 1/23/15

 

“I have worked with Jennifer for nearly 15 years and have used her services nearly exclusively, to close my personal transactions as well as those of my customers.  She professionally and tactfully handled difficult personal transactions involving removing my ex-husband from title, and has always gone above the call of duty to service whatever needs I may have both personally and for my clients.

I’ve worked with Andrea even longer, in multiple capacities – she was my branch manager for quite some time, and now I’m happy to work with her as my settlement agent of choice.  Andrea taught me how to read title reports and how to clear title issues before title services was even her job.  Jennifer has proven her dedication to clients’ needs and the needs of loan officers time and time again.  When I have a choice of who to choose for title work and settlement services, Old Towne Title is always my choice!

Most recently, Andrea went above and beyond the call of duty to work with my company, Sierra Pacific Mortgage, on closing one of the very first e-closings in the United States!  As part of the CFPB Know Before You Owe Initiative, this pilot program will eventually become the standard closing procedure in years to come.  I’m grateful that such trusted partners were flexible, knowledgeable, and forward-thinking enough to choose to participate in this pilot program.

When deciding who to choose for your settlement services, Old Towne Title is a choice you will not regret.  For service before, during, and after settlement, and for trusted advice on all matters relating to title, you can’t beat Old Towne Title.”

–C. Fincham, Lender

 

“I always appreciate your team work.My pleasure to work with you all. You guys are awesome, always respond to us quickly with all needed info.”

–P. Doan, Realtor, 2015

 

“Andrea, great class and speaker. I took another session on this (new rules for August and the closing disclosure) from another company and it was such a negative spin and no where near the information that we as agents (closers) needed to know. Thanks for putting this on!”

–J. Newcomb, Realtor Assistant, 2015

 

“I’m not sure if OTT has always sent these closing confirmation emails,  but it’s the first time I’ve seen it. I really like it!  It’s such a wonderful tool to communicate with all parties!”

–Terry A., Lender 2015

 

“What a GREAT session, Andrea. Thanks so much for hosting! I got a ton out of it that I’m taking it back to my office.”

–Tom & Kate O., Realtor, 2015

 

“Both Tom & I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that helped and made our refinance as easy as y’all could. Y’all even came to our home so we wouldn’t have to make appointments at the office! That went a long way in saying how wonderful everyone was! Thank you for dealing with our old mortgage company as well so we didn’t have to. Thank you again and have a great day!”

–Tom & Charlotte Pizor, 3/3/15

 

“It was an honor and a pleasure to work on this closing with you. Thank you for your ultimate professionalism and expertise. We hope to work with you often in the future.”

— Patricia Smith, Realtor, 2/27/15

 

“Old Towne Title has a nice system for retrieving documents, very smooth and easy to use! Just another example of their commitment to keeping our clients’ personal information safe.”

— Jodi Costello, Real Estate Agent, 1/12/2014

 

“Old Towne Title could have just “let it be” with myself being on the loan and the title/deed, and could have made more money by having to redo another title! But, Old Towne Title worked with the mortgage folks to ensure my wife was added on the title/deed to protect my family.

That is not only really helpful to me, but it is good business indeed! I have shared with Integrity Home Mortgage how great you guys are and highly encouraged them to continue to do business with you folks!”

–Stephen K. Campbell, NPS Facility Security Officer, CSC, 1/8/2014

 

I cannot say enough about how Andrea and her team helped us in the home-buying process! As first time home buyers my husband and I were very naive about the actual work it takes to buy a house. We had no idea that behind the scenes our builder and property manager had even less idea about procedures and details that come into play.

Andrea absolutely saved us from a horrible buying experience. I can say for a fact that if we didn’t have her representing us we never would have closed on time or correctly. Many of our neighbors in our community weren’t so lucky and used our builder’s recommended closing agent. We’ve heard horror stories about others not being able to close at all, agents making huge mistakes and having to deal with costly surprises at closing.

Andrea and the Olde Town Title team really went to bat for us! I know if I ever buy again, I’m coming straight back to their office for their efficient, honest and hard working staff who will do what it takes to get it done right!”

— Elise 11/20/13

 

“My experience with Old Towne Title has been fantastic, we have worked together for years now. The ladies that work there keep their clients best interest in mind, and are always responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns that may arise during the transaction.

Old Towne is unique because they really go the extra mile, with their customer service and even with sending out informational emails to help keep you focused on your own business.

I would say to someone looking for a title company to trust Old Towne Title with their closing needs, they make every effort to make sure it is a smooth transaction from start to finish, and work well with all parties involved.”

— Sherrie Bloomfield, Mortgage Loan Originator, Integrity Home Mortgage Corporation, 2014

 

“As a Realtor, I enjoy working with Jennifer and her staff. They are quick, efficient and flexible. Also, very helpful during the Short Sale process, which is large and important part of my business.

My clients are very happy with Old Towne Title’s services and will continue to use them and refer them in the future.”

– Sheila Pack, RE/MAX Team Realty, 2014

 

“In an industry where professional service is warranted but not guaranteed, Old Towne Title consistently provides exceptional care to my clients through prompt correspondence, a friendly staff, and a confidence that only comes from years of experience.”

– Dave Spence, Colony Realty, 2013

 

“I have worked with Old Towne Title several times on many transactions. They have always been very quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. I trust them completely and have had no problems what so ever on any of my settlements that they have closed. I won’t hesitate to refer them to my buyer or seller clients when they want a good closing agent. Jen is awesome, I love working with her!”

–Abby Walters, Sager Real Estate, 2013

 

“I feel that a trusted closing company is an extension of your real estate team, even if your “team” only consists of one agent. We know when we are sending our closings over to OTT that they have us and our clients’ best interest in mind. They are very aware that their performance is also reflective on the lasting impression the clients will have on us as agents.

We had one particular file that was not the smooth and easy close that we all had envisioned at the start. The seller was given incorrect information from their bank regarding how much their payoff was on their home. And, we also found out that the bank was deeper into the foreclosure process than anyone realized.

After negotiating and accepting an offer, we found out that the payoff was about $10k more than the seller was originally told. The bank had no desire to talk to anyone, including the seller, and we were all referred to the foreclosure attorney for any further communication. Surprisingly (or not so surprisingly), the foreclosure attorney also had no desire to talk to any of us, including the seller.

We read the foreclosure letter and saw their breakdown of fees and the net needed. The seller still was not going to net enough to pay off their loan. The letter also included many “anticipated” fees, should the home be foreclosed on. To our eyes and our logic, if we closed prior to the anticipated fees being accrued, that would bring the net price much closer to payoff needed.

But we needed the foreclosure attorney’s to verify this was correct and let us know what the actual, incurred costs would be. We continued our calls to the foreclosure attorney for over a week, with no response.

We needed more help, but the bank wasn’t helping, and the lawyer’s office wasn’t returning our messages. Our hands were tied. In stepped Jennifer with OTT. She said she had a couple contacts at the lawyer’s office, and she would see what she could do.

Finally, someone responded to her, and we had communication. It took a lot of effort on Jennifer’s part to get the lawyers to continue to communicate. She was not backing down, and she was advocating for our client in a way we couldn’t because we couldn’t get through the red tape by ourselves.

For 3 weeks she continued to work her magic with the lawyer’s office. I know she was contacting them almost every day. We were all holding our breaths even on the day of closing, waiting for that new pay off to be received from the lawyer’s office that would have the final figures that would verify the seller would net enough to pay off his loan. I know we all breathed a huge sigh of relief when that transaction closed and everything was done correctly and accepted by the foreclosure attorney.

Jennifer and her team have always treated our clients and us like we are their number one priority. They take this stressful process of buying or selling a home and walk clients through it however they need. Whether it be a little extra hand holding or a friendly voice on the other end of the phone that listens to our clients as they try to understand how the closing process will go, or just taking the time to go over the same questions over and over, our clients feel well taken care of.

Or as in the case above, she became a full-time negotiator on behalf of our client to stave off foreclosure, and achieve a successful
settlement.”

–Jennifer Newcomb, 2013
